So, I have a question that focuses on a character from a show, Spongebob. Sandy Cheeks lives in a reverse aquarium under the sea in Bikini Bottom, in a dome that looks like this The Treedome is m...
While working on my story, I just came up with this doubt. Is it possible to know or to detect something like a submarine in an ocean from an aircraft with our current technology? I mean to detect ...
If the water on earth were displaced to surround the earth in the atmosphere to create a water canopy, how thick would that canopy be? I apologize I should have been more specific in my original qu...
Here is a map I just produced of the plate tectonics of a world I'm working on. Does anyone familiar with the subject see anything wrong with it? If you can differentiate between the penciled and...
Let's say there's a habitable planet somewhere, covered with very deep cool water ocean. By very deep I mean thousands of km, but the exact numbers don't actually matter. According to water's pha...
In exploring the xenobiology and design for an entity (Entity X) in my fictional universe, I wanted to raise the viability of an organism that is so massive, it is visible from the planet's upper a...
I'm building a world that orbits close in to an M-Dwarf sun. I've figured out a bunch of the physical parameters of the world, I just can't quite get a solid handle on my tides. I know my tides wi...
In my world I want to create a really deep underwater science facility to conduct weird and unethical experiments in. But I think to myself: How deep could I take such a building? Does it become ...
I am trying to create a planet that either has no oxygen in the air, or it has very little; i.e. not enough to sustain humans without the use of a breathing apparatus. Large portions of the planet ...
This is a water world with depths ranging from 2-3 kilometers deep up to vast shallows of only a few meters deep usually around volcanic islands, where there are coral islands not bigger than Hawai...
Let's assume the planet has only one half the mass of the moon and is covered by shallow ocean. To eliminate water pressure at extreme depths, assume the ocean is also quite shallow, with a maximum...
The idea is in a world with 2x the gravity (which follows from 2x the size), gravity would have less an impact in the oceans. Does that follow?
The first portal is placed at bottom-most point of the Mariana trench (the deepest part of any ocean, located in the western Pacific Ocean) and the second is placed in the Sahara desert in Africa a...
I'm trying to build a world that is almost completely water, but I couldn't come up with an explanation for WHY the world was like this. The world has the same gravity and atmosphere of Earth. It a...
I'd like to explore some details on a so-called water-ball planet (i.e. a planet in the habitable zone of a sun, covered by a 100 km deep ocean). I am particularly interested where life could devel...
Twenty years ago, a 40km diameter alien saucer came to Earth, and stopped 2km above the Atlantic ocean, somewhere near the midpoint between Casablanca, Morroco and Natal, Brazil but over internatio...
I am designing the geography of a lake in which two rivers flow. Should it have a river flowing from it to the sea or vice versa?
How would waves and tides work on a planet that is completely covered by Ocean? It would have: Oceans of Similar depth to Earth's Atmosphere extremely similar to Earth's Same type of star and di...
What would be the major changes that could happen if Earth experienced a solar eclipse caused by a fictional planet for a minimum of 10 days? Mainly what would happen to the oceans and flora in suc...
For my future world, I've decided that coastal cities need fresh water and there isn't enough of it to go around. I don't know how jellyfish work. Is it feasible or completely impossible for sci...
A couple days ago, I posted this question about what it would feel like to walk on a Rocheworld. For some background, a Rocheworld is a double planet system where the two planets are so close toge...
Not sure if my intuition here is right. All else being equal, would a massive ocean yield larger and more severe storms? If, say, we removed the Americas, would the new Atlantic-Pacific Ocean be m...
Alright, so I've been doing some research on hypercanes, which are, in short, theoretical hurricanes that may have ravaged Earth in its ancient past, when ocean temperatures were much higher (at le...
So I'm wondering if it would be possible for humans to live healthily on a largely Earth-like planet that was covered almost entirely in salt water. Landmasses would all be islands, with only a few...
Our intrepid interstellar crew arrive in a new solar system. The find a planet in the Goldilocks zone. However the planet has no life, but is otherwise earth like*. The atmosphere is 80% nitrogen, ...
Earth and Titan prove that ocean be made of water and liquid methane, respectively. Theoretical planets with oceans of liquid ammonia and sulfuric acid are believed to exist. But what about alcohol?
The setting is Earth with the ordinary moon moving as per usual, but this planet also has a moon with stronger tidal pull that moves in an elliptical orbit and comes to its closest point to Earth e...
For my fantasy world, I have what I think is a really cool idea. The world is flat, and elliptical in shape. If you touch the silvery edge, well, let's just say bad things will happen. (Not relevan...
